Chapter 30: The Game Begins

Chen Lin did not give any response to Bruin and Shacody's pre-match declarations, and even though reporters poured into the LA Galaxy club, they still failed to interview him.

Chen Lin is preparing for the upcoming warm-up game, and the team's head coach Arena has told Chen Lin that he will be sent to play in this warm-up game.

This is an opportunity not to be missed for Chen Lin!

Chen Lin's position in the team is actually quite embarrassing, he positions himself as a right midfielder on the field, and the main position of the right midfielder of the LA Galaxy is firmly in the hands of Beckham, which means that Chen Lin can only be a substitute for Beckham, and the LA Galaxy team spends $50 million a year, but it is by no means to let Beckham sit on the cold bench.

This is not the most embarrassing thing for Chen Lin, the most embarrassing thing is that he can't even be Beckham's first substitute, there is also an 18 player Magee before him, Magee, who was born in 84, is now in his playing year, if it weren't for the existence of Beckham, a superstar, Magee has the strength to enter the starting lineup in the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Magee is a boulder in front of Chen Lin, if Chen Lin wants to challenge Beckham's status in the team, he must pass the level of Magee, otherwise he may not even have the opportunity to play, let alone challenge Beckham, even his switch from the NFL to MLS will become a big joke......

Chen Lin doesn't want to be without a ball to play in the LA Galaxy, which requires him to cherish the few opportunities to play, even if it is just a warm-up game, it is a good opportunity for Chen Lin to prove himself in front of Arena!

Chen Lin didn't care who the opponent in the warm-up game was, and he didn't care if he met Bruin and Shacody, who had a deep grudge against him in the draft.

What about Bruin, what about Shacody? What's the point of playing against them, does winning against them put him in the starting position for the LA Galaxy, does beating them give him more opportunities to play?

Since they can't, then why care about their pre-game declaration, they are not Beckham, they are worth chasing and challenging by Chen Lin.

Chen Lin didn't hear that Bruin had sent him a new challenge. Best Rookie? It sounds like a goal worth fighting for, but unfortunately this goal is still too small for Chen Lin, he is the man who was chased by Kobe, but the man who wants to challenge Beckham.

Could it be more fun to compete with Bruin for Rookie of the Year than to challenge David Beckham?

Chen Lin directly ignored Bruin's challenge, he didn't dare to take it, but he really didn't have interest in Bruin, in Chen Lin's opinion, Bruin is just a player with a little strength, but he likes to be a hero, such a player may be more brilliant in some games, but he will definitely not be able to go to the top of the world.

Just let Salgado play with him, and there is no need to waste time on such a player.

If Bruin knew Chen Lin's thoughts, he would definitely vomit blood in anger. After joining the Houston Dynamo, Bruin became the team's second choice for starting forwards, which is quite a high salary, compared to the substitute of Chen Lin, Bruin is really much stronger.

It's no wonder that he can come out of the pain of missing out on the draft champion so quickly, and stand proudly in front of the camera again to challenge Chen Lin.

It's a pity that Chen Lin didn't have any response, which made Bruin a little depressed, but it doesn't matter, the first warm-up match is about to start, and Bruin will let Chen Lin see the gap between the two of them......

Chen Lin can not care about Bruin, but he can't help but care about Shakodi, who is a left wing-back at Houston Dinamo, and Chen Lin is exactly opposite, and the two will play directly in the game.

Chen Lin also has some understanding of Shakodi's defensive ability, although in the main selection game, Shakodi was completely blown up by Chen Lin, but it was done by Chen Lin with the help of his teammates, if Shakodi is one-on-one, Chen Lin really dare not say that he will definitely be able to beat him.

Chen Lin feels that Shakodi is the player who can really threaten him, and if he does not perform so well against Shakodi in this warm-up game, it will greatly affect his playing time in the future.

With the threat of Shakodi, Chen Lin worked harder in preparation and training, but no matter how hard he tried, there would not be too much time left for him, Chen Lin obviously had a feeling of not having enough time, in fact, since joining the LA Galaxy, Chen Lin has always had this feeling, so he will work so hard, so he will appear on the streets of Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning.

On the second night of the LA Galaxy's return to the United States, they host the Houston Dynamo at their home home, Depot Center.

Before the start of the game, the mascots of both teams were the first to appear, and this is one of the things that sets Major League Soccer apart from other leagues in that their teams have their own mascots.

The LA Galaxy mascot is an extraterrestrial creature that looks like a frog, while the Houston Dynamo mascot is a raccoon.

The mascots of the two teams made all kinds of funny moves and provoked each other on the pitch to stir up the atmosphere on the pitch, and there were many fans who came to watch the game, and the attendance of the LA Galaxy has been high since the introduction of Beckham, and even the warm-up game has attracted tens of thousands of fans to the Home Depot Center Stadium.

After a while, the players from both teams came out one after another, and when it was Beckham's turn to walk out of the tunnel, the stands rang out with enthusiastic cheers, and the fans in Los Angeles expressed their love for Beckham as an international superstar.

David Beckham started the game, while Chen Lin sat on the bench as a substitute for Beckham. Of the six new players from both teams, only one of the two teams was named a starter.

After the players shook hands with each other, Bruin, who was wearing the No. 12 Houston Dynamo jersey, looked at the LA Galaxy bench and smiled smugly and defiantly at Chen Lin with his chin held high.

This scene did not escape the eyes of the reporters and commentators on the scene.

"Bruin, who got the starter, made a move to Chen Lin waiting for him to play, and it seems that Bruin really has a deep grudge against Chen Lin."

"It's actually quite incomprehensible, if Bruin is resentful of missing out on the draft top, then shouldn't the object of his resentment be Salgado?"

The narrator joked with the commentator next to him.

"Maybe it's because Bruin thinks Chen Lin snatched the draft pick from him and gave it to Salgado."

"Chen Lin's performance in the draft is really good, but I don't know if he can have such a magical performance in this warm-up game......"
